In And Around Israel
Camelicious
Camel milk is three times richer in vitamin C than milk from cows and contains vitamin B, iron, and unsaturated fatty acids. As large as camels are they only produce 20 litres of milk a day in comparison to 36 liters a day from cows. That does not diminish the potential of camel milk becoming a $10 billion industry. Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum of Dubai owns Emirates Industry for Camel Milk and Products and has started selling bottled camel milk branded “Camelicious” in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
To produce gallons of milk for market, dairies use computerized milking machines. What about camels? The Afikim Dairy Systems in Israel has developed systems and equipment for milking camels as well as cows. The system can accommodate up to 48 camels simultaneously.
Afikim’s customers these days are not only dairy farmers in Israel, but camel farmers in the Arab Emirates. However, sales for the systems go through Afikim’s British distributor. It is one way for the Arabs to acquire products and be partners in industry without dealing directly with Israel.
“And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed….” Genesis 26:4
